Game Mechanics: Swimming Gains while Num Lock and AFK

[skorge]

Not working. We should be able to go afk with num lock pressed into a corner and see gains. Not seeing any gains this way. Other friends not seeing gains.

Mar 01 2002, NorinMoo: Wel, might as well be the first one to post...If you wanna up your swimming rather easily, find a dock and jump in, then hit the num lock key(keeps you walking or running without holding it down, in case you didn't know) and aim towards one of the posts or wall or anything you can't climb up onto and just sit there, very easy to get you past those first couple skill points.

As I recall, I had to make my character repeatedly jump up the wall to gain swimming points.
